The Matrimony Trap

A Drake Family Novella

De: Louisa Darling

Narrado por: Mary Jane Wells

She’s the beauty and the brains. He's just Fitz.

Miss Caroline Quick is desperate to escape London for the freedom of the wilds and her career as a naturalist—but she must get her widowed mother married before she can go. It’s a simple enough idea; track down Mama’s first love and engineer a meeting…with the help of the gentleman’s alarmingly charming son.

The bored, scapegrace younger son of a disapproving Earl, Fitzwilliam Drake is no stranger to madcap schemes, but the proposition put to him by the delectable Caroline is the wildest he’s ever heard. Of course, trapping his father into marriage is better than tumbling into the pit himself, but Fitz will need to exercise caution around Caroline, who is too tempting by half. Unfortunately, Fitz has never been the cautious type.

From “surprise” encounters in the park to scandalous country house parties, Caroline’s plans quickly spin out of control. But Fitz is there to help…and to drive her to distraction with his irresistible kisses and strong embraces. Because Fitz may not be a genius, but he’s smart enough to see that with a woman like Caroline, matrimony is no trap—it’s the start of the grandest adventure of them all.

Clever & Fun

Logical character reactions, realistic personality interactions, & lovely HEA. More than just sex or typical romance angst, these two find a united destiny of each meeting the other's deepest need. Well done, Author & Narrator!
